This was emailed out by Thames Valley Police about a vehicle taking in Milton Keynes. They want to hear from anyone who actually saw the theft occurring, which is fine but exceedingly unlikely. If they had given a full description of the vehicle such as manufacturer and registration there is a greater chance someone would have seen it and could help. Someone might know where it is now, or who has it.

They might even see it being ridden around the streets, but reporting every black 'motorbike vehicle' you see may not be terribly helpful.

It strikes me that the police issue lazy rubbish like this because they are not that sure how to go about solving crimes, which also seems from anecdotal evidence at least, to be because they don't really care about solving crime either.

Crime

Crime is down. You can just hear Brown crowing about it, in his usual 'I saved the World' way. But where does this opinion come from? The British Crime Survey. Launched under the Tories, it was not their finest moment, but a Godsend for the likes of New Labour; it could in fact be called (more accurately) the Comedy Crime Survey. Ever supportive of their left-liberal bias, the BBC trumpet the output from this survey to prove that fears of crime are just moral panic and not real. But they don't mention the Surveys' parameters.

The British Crime Survey asks a tiny percentage of the population their 'experience' of crime. It doesn't include crimes committed by under 16's and serious crimes like murder. It is not based on established fact. Shall I use the same methods on the BCS? I don't know anyone who has ever been asked their 'experience' by the BCS, therefore the BCS doesn't exist. No?

We saw recently the release of accurate, comparative statistics for recorded crime that showed a steep rise in crime. Which, strangely accords with the belief of the general public. Imagine that, we now have a government who have bettered lies, damned lies and statistics and it is called The British Crime Survey. You'll find it in your library under fiction.
